Leicester's Australian centre Pat Howard won two trophies at a rugby union awards lunch in London on Tuesday.
Howard was named player of the season and best overseas player after helping Leicester to the Premiership title.
The 27-year-old beat England pair Jonny Wilkinson and Joe Worsley for the top honour, while other candidates in the overseas category were his fellow Wallaby, Harlequins captain David Wilson, and Northampton's South African prop Garry Pagel.
Howard, who returns to Australaia this summer in a bid to further his 20-cap Test career, now has his sights on European Cup glory when Leicester tackle French champions Stade Francais in Paris next Saturday.
Leicester coach Dean Richards also got in on the act, landing the director of rugby award following the club's dominant domestic campaign.
Bath and England star Iain Balshaw scooped the young player award for a second successive season.
